			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;">Saying my company doesn&#8217;t need Social Media is like saying my company doesn&#8217;t need a website 10 years ago. </span></p>
<p>I remember those days.  While others were debating whether they should or shouldn&#8217;t have a web presence, I was building my first website.  So many people doubted the power of the web back then, but I think we all realize that today the internet is a part of our everyday life.  How is Social Media any different?  The web is evolving and it is your job to grow and evolve with it.  Old fashioned, in your face advertising is out.  Viral, consumer generated reviews and recommendations is the new way and you will either learn it now or later after your competition has already established a strong presence on all of the social media platforms.</p>
